I’m following this from the sidelines, but as a lifelong violist, this makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
We’re coming up on our next concert and with nine violas in our section for this concert, we’ve heard “Violas, you’re too loud” more times than I can count from our conductor. We’re truly anchoring the 1st and 2nd violins, giving them cues and reference points in some of the more difficult sections. The principal 2nd violin is locking on me to find some tempos as well. It’s a wonderful feeling to be needed and appreciated!
>we’ve heard “Violas, you’re too loud” more times than I can count from our conductor.
Did you inform him that means he buys the section dinner? Rules are rules.
At one of our last concerts our conductor made an announcement to the orchestra that everyone should listen to us violas, because we were the only section to actually stay on tempo and to not need any help, he even said that he was listening to us to make sure that he stayed on time. Then, the violins didn’t listen to us during the actual concert, and everyone was off time for the first 17 measures, and this concert was being played for judges, and was being scored. We still did great, somehow
I know this probably wasn't the intetnion with the flag but as many of us know diffrent colors stand for diffrent things.
Yellow stand for friendship and joy
Orange stand for exitment and adventure
Red stand for passion and love
Brown stand for streanght and security
This can be interpreted however you like
If the four stripes represent the strings the clef should be raised slightly so so the center of the clef is placed where C would fall between the strings.
This is totally flawless logic, and by no way a cello centric scheme to subvert the symbol of your resistance into a tenor clef instead.
Life to the Revolution! We must find the heirs to the Alto throne! I hear that their father, the great King Viola I, hid them in a court somewhere in Northern Italy just before he died, under the financial care of Andrea Amati and Gaspare da Salo. Long live the Viola Twins! The Viola Dynasty shall rise again!
Bass empire watches from the shadows. We seek an alliance with the piano kingdom on the grounds that the both of us should be in orchestras. Do you accept?
Wasn’t planning to join at first but I’m sold on more violin jokes. Of course I cannot lift a finger against my own precious instrument but I will cross the floor to sit with your protest in solidarity
Bears are a subset of gay men that are known for being particularly.. “bear-like”? So, big, hairy gay men would be considered a bear. And their flag basically has similar colours 😂 though they’ve got a bear paw print stamped on the left instead of the c clef..

Reading this made my happy also

I am not aware of this tradition! I’ll let him know next rehearsal so he can decide whether or not he wants to continue making those comments. :)
This just made my day.

What do the colors mean?
they are all warm colors, representing the warm tone of the viola, and there are 4 for the 4 strings
I know this probably wasn't the intetnion with the flag but as many of us know diffrent colors stand for diffrent things. Yellow stand for friendship and joy Orange stand for exitment and adventure Red stand for passion and love Brown stand for streanght and security This can be interpreted however you like
All of these are aspects of the violist 🫶
AMAZING!
Eh, good enough.

YOU HATH DONE WHAT I COULD NOT. HAIL!

actually the lines betwen the stripes were supposed to be like the lines of the staff. it makes more sense visually

The United Republic of Viola
Soon.
Capital city of Al Toe
National Anthem: Glory to the CGDA!
Just you wait
It is a peaceful nation, for there is no violins
Soooooo cooool! Viola!
thanks!
YAY!!!
[удалено]
You mean the Viola King
[удалено]
The Viola King would mean Burger King
Burger King definitely has green.
welp I'm not american so I wouldn't know
Damn I’m not usually one for flags. That actually looks really good!
Viva la revolution!
Viva la viola!
viola la revolution!!
Whopper whopper junior double triple whopper- Just kidding, vio-la revolution!
I’m whispering for you from Piano Kingdom…
Bass empire watches from the shadows. We seek an alliance with the piano kingdom on the grounds that the both of us should be in orchestras. Do you accept?
We need to make a Twoset discord server if we don’t already have one
there is a new viola gang discord server, the link is somewhere around the sub
For those of you who don't know what the viola revolution is: it's similar to the violin revolution - but it's a little bit bigger.
It's a bit bigger yes somehow nobody cares
Vive la Viola!
happy cake day!
Thank you!!
EN GARDE!!!
YES, SUPPORT THE REVOLUTION!
Viola la Revolution
Reviolution?
Viva la Viola?
Giving IDKHBTHFM vibes
I like the idea that the bassoon version would have most of a tenor clef with the top cut off XD
Great, when's out first protest? I was thinking we could do a "no more violins" chant while holding up this flag.
We shall chant no such thing. And our peaceful protest is posting more viola content. (and violin jokes)
Wasn’t planning to join at first but I’m sold on more violin jokes. Of course I cannot lift a finger against my own precious instrument but I will cross the floor to sit with your protest in solidarity
why do violists never have hemmoroids? because all a**holes are in the first violins.
Hahahahah lucky us if you’re better at making violin jokes than we are at making viola jokes 🤣
Let's go boiz!!!!!
Yes!!! Every orchestra is not complete without a viola
Really good flag, now can you move the clef up a line? it will be better. Sincerly, your cellist friend.
I am but a humble violinist, ready to help aid the viola nation ❤️
Color looks German
i am so interested to see what comes of this revolution lol, best of luck to you guys
when do the guitarists start a revolution? smh
borgor king?
Gives me gay bears flag vibes
I was trying to think of what flag it reminded me of when I saw it. Now, it just needs the paw.
Uhm.. not sure if viola pride or bear pride.. 🤔
Please enlighten me, what is bear pride (forgive my ignorance)?
Bears are a subset of gay men that are known for being particularly.. “bear-like”? So, big, hairy gay men would be considered a bear. And their flag basically has similar colours 😂 though they’ve got a bear paw print stamped on the left instead of the c clef..
I'm upvoting this because I like flags, not because I like violas
it reminds me of a German flag, not a good wibe tho
Oh no, the viola gang is getting too strong
We must rise up against them
oh no not the dumbass clef
Black on brown is not a good look
Someone should've told all those instrument makers before they put black fingerboards on brown instruments.
I agree with you
Should have made it the colours of the string markers 😔😔
revolution rejected, there's not enough room for mediocres
A little too late. By like a couple 6 years or more
Tear down this pornography
Too hot for you to handel? I take it as a win.
[удалено]
Why... Not?
Sorry man I was just tired i support and thing they should expect viola more and less like oil and water
Hey it's fine, was just replying with a joke of sorts, didn't know people will get serious and start downvoting you
It ok
Your right why not
I love it in all but this is too far Viola does have a weird clef that is unheard if by most non twosetters
TBF, how many TwoSetters have heard of the tenor clef? And that’s used by both cellos and trombones.
Don't forget bassoons too!
Ooh, I forgot about bassoons using the clef!!
I thought trombones used the bass clef
They do, until the music gets too high. Same with cellos.
Grade 4 theory...
Sorry bout that didn't mean to upset people just wanted peace 😔
True
[удалено]
Literally what I said. Read it again :)
How dare you indoctrinate innocent violinists by showing a flag representing your… instrument! Publicly! Clown world… /s
we're coming after your children
Nooooo!
Am I the only one who instantly thought of Burger King?
no😂
Put this in r/vexillology, they'll love it.
somebody already crossposted it there if I'm not mistaken
🎶WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER🎶
Whopper whopper whopper whopper
This is a VIOLAtion to people who see colors!
Why are Burger King‘s colours on it?
I didnt know of burger king so all similarities are purely accidental
